Precious Little Miracle

Avery Nicole arrived on Tuesday Feb 23, 2010 at 5:21 pm. She came into this world weighing 6 lbs 8 oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. We were tickled with her strawberry blond hair. She is a week old today and this past week has been a wonderful week for Seth and I. We count our blessings everyday to have Avery in our lives.

Friday, on my birthday, I received a willow tree statue from my wonderful friend Brittney. It is called "The gift" and is a man and woman standing together holding a baby. When I opened it Seth and I got emotional as we talked about the journey we have been on for the past few years. We were devastated when we lost Alexis and didn't know if we would be able to bring a life into this world. This pregnancy has been stressful (5 trips to the hospital, an extra two night stay the week before she was born, high blood pressure and bed rest). However, every minute was worth this beautiful little miracle. During this time Seth and I have realized how many wonderful people we have in our lives as they have reached out with their love, prayers and support. We are truly grateful to everyone for their prayers.

Ready for the ride home from the hospital. She looks so tiny in her car seat.
